Former independent counsel Ken Starr, who’s coming out with a book about his famous investigation into former President Bill Clinton and the blue dress, said he almost slapped Hillary Clinton with a perjury charge.
Almost. Almost?
And the rest of the world goes: Well, why didn’t you?
Hillary is so well known for her obstructions of truth that if you type a Google search on “hillary clinton list of lies,” nearly 45 million results pop. Heck, PolitiFact keeps a running count, titled “All False statements involving Hilary Clinton.”
Among her whoppers?
“There have been more than 270 mass shootings in the United States in the last year alone. That’s where four or more are killed,” she claimed on Oct. 10, 2017 — a statement that PolitiFact rated as “False, Clinton misstates key part of mass shooting definition.”
Another, during her campaign against Donald Trump in August of 2016: “[Trump] doesn’t make a thing in America.” As PolitiFact noted: “Trump hats, wine and water come from the U.S.”
And another, from July 2016, when she said she “never received nor sent any material that was marked classified” on her private and home-based email server, while serving in the State Department. But as PolitiFact wrote — False, False, False.
“Contradicted by the FBI” is how the fact-checking site put it.
That’s but a drop in HRC’s big ol’ bucketful of lies, deceptions, misstatements, skews, spins and waterings of truth.
Starr, in his new book “Contempt: A Memoir of the Clinton Investigation,” said at one point during his investigation, Hillary drifted so far into fantasy land, he very nearly pulled her back with the same perjury charge he gave her husband.
“I was upset over Mrs. Clinton’s performance and was even considering bringing the matter before the Washington grand jury for possible indictment on perjury,” Starr wrote, Mediaite reporte d. “[I]n the space of three hours, she claimed, by our count, over a hundred times that she ‘did not recall’ or ‘did not remember.’ This suggested outright mendacity. To be sure, human memory is notoriously fallible, but her strained performance struck us as preposterous.”
It was. Still is. But this is the woman who famously whined during congressional testimony on Benghazi, about truth — about the truth of the root of the terror attack that left four Americans dead: “What difference at this point does it make?”
Her view hasn’t changed much over the decades.

What? These are all simply “improper framing” of facts.
Why is this person not in JAIL????
And why does she not have lots of company? I can think of about 10 names off the top of my head.
With all the names we could all come up with, they’d have to build a brand new prison to house them all!
He shouldn’t be allowed to make money from betraying the entire country!
Hillary has been caught in so many lies and far worse where true American patriots lost their lives because of her ineptitude, Benghazi, that one little perjury charge wouldn’t have mattered to her at all. Look at how brazen she was to do what she did with setting up her own private server which was hacked buy the Chinese and every single email read by the Chinese. IF that’s not enough to get this harridan thrown in prison then nothing will. Even okie doking Bernie Sanders out of the nomination by manipulating the DNC and even having the unmitigated gall to have debate questions stolen on her behalf. Hillary seriously belongs inside of a prison cell from long ago but for whatever reason has managed to always land on her feet (well except when she went to the 9/11 memorial back in 2016 where she had to be picked up by the Secret Service and tossed into a van like a sack of potatoes).
Hopefully after the midterm elections President Trump gives Jeff “Recuse” Sessions his walking papers and the country gets an AG that will go after not only Hillary but the entire deep state cabal including Barack Obama and will even add John “Subversive Slackjaw” Kerry to that list for meeting with the mullahs of Iran trying to salvage his trainwreck of a nuclear deal behind everyone’s back. I’ve always like the attack dog manner in which Trey Gowdy would question these people and get to the bottom of most matters and think Trump should consider appointing him to the AG position. Anyone but Jeff Sessions.
In the past I would’ve agreed with you about Gowdy, but he’s been a bit soft lately. I like Cruz for that spot. After he beats beto in Nov, then Abbott can appoint another real conservative to the senate. So far, Cruz hasn’t been afraid of the clinton crime syndicate.
I’m watching older youtube vids of Trey Gowdy where he is literally a beligerent ***** to some of the people he questions which is exactly what is needed!! LOL Has he really gotten soft? Wonder why that is? In any event I think Ted Cruz would be just as effective and does have a pretty impressive background.
Maybe he’s been in office too long, to where the ‘go along to get along’ bug bit him?
Woopty do.. WHY tell us now, something that ‘almost happened’ back then!? ITS BLOODY MEANINGLESS/
To despise hillary is bliss ! cankles is the most corrupt politician in America ! obama is a close second !
I go back and forth between despising them equally. I wonder if either one of them are kind of shaking in their shoes these days wondering when the shoe is going to drop? They both have to realize that at some point Trump is going to be coming to get his pound of flesh from both of them. They know that any day now that Trump is going to declassify those FISA warrants. Guess he’s waiting for them to have maximum impact and get the most bang for the buck. There’s 4 of them that I’m aware of so he’ll probably do one a week as we get closer to those midterms. Everyday we learn a little more when new text messages are released and see just how insidious these people out to get Trump all are. AND I know in my heart of hearts that despite what that louse Obama says, he knew everything going on from the beginning every step of the way.
If we had a real AG, she would be in jail with almost everyone from the prior administration, all the way up to the head of the snake, Obama himself.
I think the last time we had a REAL AG was during Reagan’s time frame.
Nothing’s gonna happen to Hillary. Clinton = Teflon.
